Re: International Shipping

That FAQ has SQL code that can be used for various Zone Definitions ... if one can work for you then copy it either into the SQL via phpMyAdmin or into the Tools ... Install SQL Patches ... of your Zen Cart Admin to make those Zone Definitions ...

Re: International Shipping

I was hoping for a little help. I tried the sql you had posted and it now says that "system setup is required." I can't access anything from my page and it wants me to install zencart...which is odd because I've spent about 40 hours getting my page up and running. My friend said he backed up the page but I'm hoping there's a way to fix it on my end. Any ideas?

Re: International Shipping

Twice now I have had orders from international buyers who managed somehow to choose the domestic USA rate for shipping instead of the international rate for their country. I know they have to specify their country for a shipping destination before the order. Why doesn't the cart "lock in" the appropriate shipping rate and not give them a choice for anything else, like the cheaper US rate? Do I not have some settings right? Thanks.

for examples ... and add the Zone Definition needed to each one with the rate per item that you want to charge ...

First off would like to say Great Info in here.
For the most part I have someone that has done a Great job setting me up, also has done 2 Upgrades... just Today she finished my 1.5 Upgrade, replaced a sliders, changed a banner and she has Always been there for me when I have questions or problems.
Of course I go over my budget 80% of the time. Anyway she's Great ! and knows her Zencart

Ok, now that I got that out of the way. I want to start learning some of this Zencart stuff.

Here's what I have and I will tell you what I need, so maybe you can point in the right direction .

I use Flat rate which is currently for U.S Only, but have been getting a few International's lately.
So the only modules I have going are the Flat Rate, Free Shipping Options, Free Shipping and for whatever reason, Store Pick-up.

I want to have a Flat Rate for the U.S ( which I already have ) and I need a Flat rate for International.
I see you talk about Cloning Modules, which I guess is just a Copy ? How do I do this ? Where do I do this ?
and would it just be better to make a Zone for the U.S and one for everywhere else ? than doing a Flat rate for both ?
